2026 Honda Accord vs 2027 Hyundai Sonata: price, specs and what it costs in Frisco
Base trims, published figures from each brand’s own spec sheets. I show the starting price of both cars and the rows where the Accord comes out ahead; the Sonata wins rows of its own, and its full sheet is on Hyundai’s site. What I can add that a spec sheet can’t is what the Accord actually costs on our lot today.

|---|---|---|
| Starting MSRP | $28,395 | $27,600 |
| Horsepower | 192 hp | 191 hp |
| Torque | 192 lb-ft | 181 lb-ft |
| Combined MPG | 32 mpg | 31 mpg |

| Passenger volume | 105.7 cu ft | 104.4 cu ft |
MSRP excludes destination. Figures are each brand’s published base-trim numbers at the time of the last competitor refresh and can change with a model year.
What the Accord costs in Frisco today
As of Nov 2, 2026, David McDavid Honda of Frisco lists 99 new 2026 Honda Accords. The LX is about $30,984 out the door with Texas tax and fees, or about $658 a month for 60 months at 9.99% APR with nothing down. Every trim is worked out in the 2026 Honda Accord price guide, and the estimator does it with your down payment and trade.
What I’d do before choosing
Drive both, back to back, on the roads you actually use. Numbers settle the budget; the seat, the sightlines and the way it pulls away from a light settle the rest. If the Sonata turns out to be the better fit for you, I’ll say so. I’d rather you buy the right car.
